morpheousman Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 There are new Bios updates that came out. I think these were to address the security defects in the kernel? I updated both my 790 and 990 without issue. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/332512-guide-macos-high-sierra-1013-dell-optiplex-780-760-755-790-990/page/5/#findComment-2611517 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blxkspell Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 ive successfully run high sierra now, but i dont know how to get my audio work. Only the HDMI and AirPlay devices are listed in the Settings. Ive already tried copying the recent lilu and AppleHDA kexts into the /kexts/other folder on the EFI Partition Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/332512-guide-macos-high-sierra-1013-dell-optiplex-780-760-755-790-990/page/5/#findComment-2612138 Share on other sites More sharing options...
unrealpants Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Hi all ... I have managed to set up my 780 with High Sierra after a bit of struggle but now it boots without interruption and I'm rapt. I had to edit the Clover boot loader options to specifically disable the ATI Injection option to get this to work. I thought I would need this since I am using an ATI 5450 as many have recommended but with the option enabled this just threw a bunch of errors on the screen after trying to run the install or load options from the boot loader. So now, my next priority is to get the resolution right. The display should be set at 1920x1080 but it's set lower and stretched. How can I go about tweaking this resolution setting? In the display properties there is only one option - 1280x1024. Cheers Paul Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/332512-guide-macos-high-sierra-1013-dell-optiplex-780-760-755-790-990/page/5/#findComment-2612367 Share on other sites More sharing options...
morpheousman Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Did you rollback kexts as explained in Step 6 & 8?

unrealpants Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 hi morpheusman ... no.. I didn't ... I thought that was only necesary if the screen went black -- which it didn't I'll try that tonight. While I have your ear - so to speak - can you suggest how I would go about making whatever changes I need to make so that I can connect remotely (using eg VNC) to my hackintosh? I tried from another machine on my home network and I keep getting "connection refused" Cheers Paul Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/332512-guide-macos-high-sierra-1013-dell-optiplex-780-760-755-790-990/page/5/#findComment-2612442 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacPeet Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 Since the first beta's 10.13.4, the audio codec AD1984A has problems with AppleALC + Lilu (only Optiplex780 and 760). With rollback AppleHDA from 10.13.3 it works well. AppleHDA.kext_rollback10.13.3.zip I have not found the error yet. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/332512-guide-macos-high-sierra-1013-dell-optiplex-780-760-755-790-990/page/5/#findComment-2613552 Share on other sites More sharing options...

unrealpants Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 This process has been fun and productive... but more problems keep appearing ... now the network drops out rather regularly.... I notice on another forum they suggest to do a 'NIC restart' https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/network-stops-working-when-downloading-large-files.22473/ If that's the solution and it's something I can automate, I'm happy to try.

unrealpants Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) @MacPeet no.... I tried using EasyKext to rollback using the kexts you supplied from 10.13.3 but no joy. Is there something else I need to do?... in your first post, you suggested using 11 or 13 to match the on-board audio in Clover Configurator. I'll try searching for those instructions and give it another go. In other news, my network dropouts seem to have gone away.... yay! .... ok so I've found these instrucitons https://hackintosher.com/guides/get-hackintosh-audio-working/ Should I be following these?
